CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) - A company in Carlsbad is doing its part to help the animals injured by wildfires in Australia.Oska Wellness has donated ten of its patented Oska Pulse devices to animal hospitals in New South Wales."I have a cat and a dog, my daughter has a snake, we're animal lovers," says Dr. Jeff Marksberry. "So anything you can do personally or as an organization, we're going to do."The device uses electromagnetic pulses to help realign the ionic charges within damaged cells. "All of your cells in your body have a plus/minus. They work with electronic properties," says Dr. Marksberry. "When someone's injured, when they have pain, when there's inflammation, those things all change, those properties..."We use the pulsed electromagnetic field to realign those charges to heal the cells."The Oska Pulse has been used on humans since 2015, but Dr. Marksberry says they know for a fact that it works on koalas as well."There was a koala during the 2015 wildfires that made the news for not responding to any pain treatments," he explains. "Our founder donated one of the prototypes to the vets there. The koala had a great response. The koala's name was Oska, so we actually adopted that as our name for the US device."Dr. Marksberry says the ten devices they sent can help treat dozens of patients, since multiple animals can use it at once, and treatment only takes a few hours each day."As long as it's next to the animal, they can still get pain relief from the device and go ahead and get normal rehabilitation treatments they've been getting," he says.For more information about the Oska Pulse or Oska Wellness, visit www.oskawellness.com. 1670

Charlottesville, Virginia, is again bracing for journalists and protesters to converge on the city as jury selection begins Monday for the man accused of killing Heather Heyer at last year's Unite the Right rally.James Fields of Maumee, Ohio, is accused of plowing his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counterprotesters during the August 2017 white nationalist gathering, killing Heyer and injuring several other people, police say.Heyer, 32, was a local paralegal and had attended the rally to speak out against white supremacy and racism. Her friends and families say she died for her beliefs.Fields stands charged with first-degree murder in Heyer's death. He also faces five counts of malicious wounding, three counts of aggravated malicious wounding and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.Separately, he is charged with hate crimes in a 30-count federal indictment. Prosecutors in that case allege Fields espoused white supremacist ideals and denounced minorities on social media before traveling to Virginia for the rally. Once there, the indictment says, he drove his car into a crowd with the intention of hurting people he targeted based on his bigoted views.The 21-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges. It's unclear whether he has entered a plea to the state charges, though a trial would not likely be necessary if he had pleaded guilty.His attorney, Denise Lunsford, did not return an email seeking comment. Fields is being held without bail in the Albemarle/Charlottesville Regional Jail. 1564

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo earthworm expert Nick Henshue says Amynthas, invasive "jumping" earthworms with destructive potential, are appearing in the Western New York area.The earthworms live in the top few inches of soil, can grow to about the length of a pencil and gobble up fallen leaves that experts say play a vital role in forest ecosystems.Henshue believes the invasive earthworms may have been transported to the area in part via contaminated mulch."In agricultural systems, earthworms can be great, but in forests in our area, these jumping worms reduce leaf litter, which is really a protective layer that we rely on to protect and hide seeds and keep the sun off newly germinating plants," Henshue said. "The ability of earthworms, writ large, to reduce that leaf litter, to mix up different soil horizons, to add a whole lot of bacteria to the soil — it's very disruptive to plants, to animals and to organisms that live in the soil."Henshue says human activity is what leads to the spread of these invasive species."We shouldn't have earthworms at all in New York State, native or otherwise, because the glaciers pushed them so far south during the ice age," Henshue said. "But we do because of boats, bait, potted plants, soil being moved. Earthworm egg cases are tiny. They're smaller than the backing of an earring. They get transported around really easily."Below are some tips provided by Henshue to help stop the spread of these invasive species:Don't use jumping worms as bait.Be vigilant when taking part in plant swaps.Obtain clean mulch and compost from reliable sources."There's not a very good solution because we don't have anything that specifically targets these earthworms," Henshue said. "The quick and dirty way would be to just kill everything, and that's not okay. You'd wipe out beneficial insects and microbes as well. So the best thing we can do is prevention. Be vigilant about mulch piles, root cuttings and plant swaps. Don't use these things as bait."For more information on identifying the worms and stopping the spread, click here.This story was originally published by Anthony Reyes on WKBW in Buffalo. 2166

CHICAGO, Ill. -- The coronavirus has hit communities of color especially hard. Financially, it’s also taken a disproportionate toll.Ozzy Gamez’s neighborhood storefront looks a lot like an indoor jungle.“Our main focus has been indoor houseplants, tropical cacti, anything weird and exotic, strange,” said Gamez.Co-owned by his long-time friend and business partner Juan Quezada, they own "The Plant Shop."“It feels good to come into work and just put my hands on some soil and just kind of bond with people over something that's very natural, very organic,” said Quezada.For many in the Latino community, a connection to caring and nurturing plants is intertwined with family and culture. Gamez grew up in Belize, surrounded by tropical plants.“When I was growing up, it was kind of all around,” said Gamez. “My grandfather would plant things and grow things, whether it was for the animals he was raising or whether it's for us.”“I am Mexican, so I think that in my culture, it plays a big role,” said Quezada. “My mother always used plants for remedies, even as small as like aloes. I had a little cut, she always used that.”According to the Pew Research Center, the pandemic has hit Latinos especially hard. About 6 in 10 Latinos, 59%, in May said they live in households that have experienced job losses or pay cuts due to the coronavirus outbreak.Many have found solace during the pandemic in reconnecting with plants, returning to their roots.“You start thinking about where you came from and thinking about your ancestors,” said Gamez. “Not only think about them, but the places that were meant for me and I start thinking that kind of links it all. It's plants.”Gamez and Quezada have been fortunate. Business has been good to them during the pandemic.Despite having to limit the number of customers in the store, demand has increased. They’ve had to double their staff to keep up.“Our customers are great,” said Quezada. “They completely understand whether they have to wait outside for a second or you have to sanitize your hands coming in or wearing a mask.”Regulars like Glenn Gallet say it’s all worth it.“The amount of rare plants and things I'd never seen before, things I've lusted after, I spent a lot of money here over the years. But it's all been worth it,” he said.In a time when most could use a little extra care, nurturing another living thing could be just the right medicine. 2410
